Structure and innervation of the ciliary processes of the albino rabbit eye

摘要: Various physiological and anatomical studies have suggested that the ciliary epithelium may be under influence of adrenergic nerve fibers. This study was undertaken in an attempt to characterize innervation epithelium. Both light electron microscopy revealed is only sparsely innervated. In addition, overlies a highly vascular stroma, distance between large channels small. These features stroma indicate it structurally suited for transport function, fact which supports earlier reports elaborate membrane infoldings are indicative function. The discrepancy previous descriptions epithelium, demonstrating complex subepithelial plexuses fibers, results present due fluorescence technique used could labelled some other tissue component addition Results with orcein aldehyde fuchsin stains disposition elastic fibers processes similar as determined by fluorescent techniques.
